A Memo on Burr Oak Cemetery was good political cannon fodder in the Illinois Governors Race. At the time of this post the results are not clear in the Governor democratic primary in Illinois . But what is clear is that that the horrible grave scandal At Burr Oak Cemetery and associated memo are a big a factor in the governors race between Pat Quinn and Dan Hynes.
Now it is quite unclear why the Grave Desecrations known about in 2003 were not reported to Law Enforcement by Perpetua and Slivy Edmonds Cotton a Perpetua Manager in Charge of Burr Oak. It is my opinion that Pat Quinn was making something out of nothing in the last days of the campaign with his Burr Oak cemetery attacks on Hynes.

In the case of Burr Oak Cemetery, it comes down to one Company Perpetua Inc and one person, individual- a 2003 manager named Silvy Cotton According to the news report mentioned here. The Illinois regulator Comptroller Hynes also was aware of a grave desecration problem Burr Oak at Burr Oak Cemetery.
Illinois regulator “Dan Hynes knew” about the grave desecration in 03 and it is big politics in Illinois. Hynes is running for governor. Hynes only regulated the money, but because he knew of desecration he should have turned the matter over over to Law enforcement.
In E_Mails to me Silvy Cotton, threatened legal action against me for bringing out her involvement by blog post in the Burr Oak Horror.
A high tech graveyard has been developed in Japan. Now the grave yard happens to be in a vault in a high rise. You visit the grave by having a robot retrieve the urn, after that the urn and the ashes are viewed in a viewing room.
Japan has introduced high tech graves
“It is a problem faced by everyone in the end or by their relatives left behind – finding a place to spend eternity.
And in Japan, a crowded mountainous country with a fast-ageing society, there is a shortage of final resting places, especially in the big cities.
Burial plots in Tokyo can cost more than $100,000 (£63,318), so some are turning to a cheaper hi-tech solution – multi-storey graveyards…..
With this kind of system we can store a lot of remains so you don’t have to visit a graveyard far away-
Ryutoku Ohara”

President Obama let Kennedy Speak to Congress from grave via letter
President Barack Obama let Senator Ted Kennedy speak from the grave on 9.09.09. This is the second time Kennedy spoke from the Grave. First he spoke through a letter at a Arlington grave side funeral service via letter to the Pope. 2nd he spoke in a letter given to Obama after his death. Portions of that letter were read during Obama’s speech before Congress on Tuesday night.
“I received one of those letters a few days ago. It was from our beloved friend and colleague, Ted Kennedy. He had written it back in May, shortly after he was told that his illness was terminal. He asked that it be delivered upon his death.
In it, he spoke about what a happy time his last months were, thanks to the love and support of family and friends, his wife, Vicki, and his children, who are here tonight . And he expressed confidence that this would be the year that health care reform – “that great unfinished business of our society,” he called it – would finally pass. He repeated the truth that health care is decisive for our future prosperity, but he also reminded me that “it concerns more than material things.” “What we face,” he wrote, “is above all a moral issue; at stake are not just the details of policy, but fundamental principles of social justice and the character of our country.”
This was indeed a sad thing. The President of the United States using a Senator in the grave to sell his Health Care Plan.
